Its not that I would not recommend these apartments, as they are lovely, but if I was to visit Cavtat again I would give up the views and stay in apartments that are not on the surrounding mountains of Cavtat.
Having read amazing reviews on these apartments I was very excited about our stay. However, I didn’t think they were amazing they were just ok. The rooms were clean, but dated, which was okay with us. But I found that most apartments in Cavtat were all quite dated.
The view is amazing but, with those comes a very steep cliff/hill. Me and my partner are young and could just about make it walking up the very steep hill twice a day in the heat.
Jardranka kindly offered us lifts but we never did, not sure why, I guess we liked the challenge. She did question why we never did. I think you need to hire a car staying at these apartments.
There were never enough sun-lounges or chairs around the pool, the families were hogging them all day every day! Which was quite annoying.
The bus stop to go to the city is not near the apartments. Its about a 15min walk on a motorway, they don’t seem to have pavements in Croatia. That was also hot and dangerous to do, especially in the pitch black of night. My partner and I are not old enough to hire a car.
It seemed that you only got special treatment if you are the type of people who like to spend all day every day sitting at the pool rather than exploring the place.
It was very kind of Jardranka to take us too and from the airport and she gave us lots of info on arrival. She’s very down to earth and all her family are polite and helpful; when you can find them.
The apartments are about a 20min walk down to the centre of Cavtat. The centre of Cavtat can be quite noisy at night.
Dubrovnik is a great city to explore, go up on the cable car and eat lots of ice-cream, its well worth it!
Cavtat is a lovely place to stay. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to visit Dubrovnik and surrounding islands.
